PrettyToy712 - Thank you! I agree 100% with everything you said. I think people are crazy to say this sounds like a B-side from The Cinema. Only because it doesn't sound exactly like Illuminate. But why should it? Only terrible bands release the same album over and over. And Mindy definitely did not make Lydia. She was around for ONE out of their now four releases.
That being said, I'm in love with this song. I think it's beautiful and a great progression from Illuminate and Assailants. I also agree that this song is about closure. I'm thinking the first song, "Hailey" will be one more 'This December...' type of song then this one is about closure. But who knows? Maybe it's just a song. So excited to hear the entire album!
I agree. That's the sad thing about some people who are fans of a band. When the band releases an album that becomes the sort of fan-selected "best album" from them, then that's all some fans want to hear. Screw progression and trying different things, all they want is another 10 albums that sound like Illuminate...I hate when people act like that. I've also seen several people talking about how they feel like Assailants sounded "half-done" or just not executed as well as it could have been, but I don't understand that either. I thought Assailants was a great album....

I thought Assailants was a great album. While I'm not a fan of "Music Makers" I thought every other song on that album was amazing...the only "problems" I had with Assailants was that the songs were all rather short...and there were only 7 songs on what was supposed to be the band's final album lol. If they did, indeed break up for good I would have been a lot happier with a 2-disc final release or something. But...we don't have to worry about that now because we're getting new Lydia music again :) I agree though, I'm excited to hear the entire album as well...only 6 more days until it's released :) I just hope the pre-orders get to the people who bought them on the 4th...otherwise I'll be jealous of the people who just waited to buy it on iTunes lol.
